The fact that this isn't my 'actual' period just makes me.panic about pregnancy because I've been feeling I'll for the past few days and I know that you say symptoms aren't the best way to tell I've just been aching all.over and having bad headaches and trouble sleeping. I don't understand that ther...

Oh ok so what I said about the hormones including the pregnancy one when the synthetic hormones aren't being put into the body was correct? Just making sure I understand it.that and it's interesting to learn about. Being on the pill helped my anxiety go as there was something there to make.me.know t...

Ok thankyou :) oh ok. With the withdrawel bleed, if someone was using the combined pill and was pregnant because the pills effectiveness was reduced, would they know when to test for pregnancy if the withdrawel period didnt happen? Or would the withdrawel bleed still happen? I know that the pill mim...

How could it have lead to an ectopic pregnancy? Does it even lead to that? What effect does progesterone have in terms of the fertilised egg and effecting whether it moves down the fallopian tubes for implantation?

Aw haha well im only average height. I used to be smaller than all my friends, then I hit 16 and shot up. Then stopped and shot back up before and during my 17th birthday, im taller than my mum aswell haha. Tallest girl in the family :) Yeah they are very complex. Im built differently to all my sibl...

Oh yeah sorry yeah I know what the article said, it said secretions, the lining, dead cells and bacteria and a tad bit of blood. Ok, I think I get it now yeah :) Ah ok, yeah because I remember being told that it doesn't fully over-ride your cycle. I suppose not, mothers can be weird at times, I mean...

She started confusing me saying all this about 'tricking the body' and 'not actually your period' etc and I just had 'information overload' crisis.

With the pills bit, yeah it does :) so the pills contain these drop in hormones and you get bleeding, then is there an exact reason as to why you still bleed, if you do, when on the 'placebo' or 'pill free' week? Is that the reason or is it so people would know if they needed to test for pregnancy i...

I read the link, I think I understand it A LOT better now and Iooked at one of the links which is very clear-pbs link- and one bit I found interesting was this bit-"The birth control pill jumps into this relay system midstream, delivering two key sex hormones that trick the brain into thinking ...

Ok I will do Thank you Heather :) Oh yeah sorry I didn't mean clots, I meant the lining. Oh I wondered why I could see parts of the endometrial lining still, I always have. "Too, the withdrawal bleed IS still shedding of the lining. It's not a period in the sense that your own body is making it...

Hi, I have read the Oral Contraceptive Pill article but I still don't understand stuff about the pill with withdrawal bleeds. I started using Gederel, a combined pill to help reduce heaviness of my periods as well as ache. On the ache side, everything is fine and the only side effect I seemed to hav...

It seemed like I spotted yesterday and i am worried that the pill is causing problems or something, that and it don't help that I am always paranoia.

I am still confused with the pill, I had increased discharge again today yet the information on the pill states that it is designed to thicken the cervical mucus because this pill is a contraceptive on so it does it to stop sperm, however I have had a slight increase. Plus, I have had thicker dryer ...

I feel like my body is trying to ovulate or that it has already ovulated, as there is increased discharge and pms started after my chest felt heavy like it does when I'm ovulating/near ovulation/have ovulated. I think this as I went to the toilet and sorry if this sounds gross but there was a lot of...

Ok thanks just wanted to know because knowing me I would panic thinking things and that I did something wrong when taking the pill.

Oh ok I see so the increased discharge around the second week of my cycle and pms following it, the pill doesn't stop that, ok got it Thanks

Oh okthats useful to answer my question then :) so its normal to experience and do you still get pms signs near your period that you would get when not on the pill when you are on the pill then no matter how long you have been on it? I was wondering what if my period didnt happen in the pill free we...

I was wondering if there is a way I can look at my past conversations on your live chat service to help me aswell. I did copy paste and print one bit of a conversation and have highlighted it and read it aswell as pasting more information to help support the conversation and it helps to have all the...

Oh ok im not very good with technology so hope it works. Ok my doctor said to me(even though I said I not having any sex that can cause pregnancy) that the effectiveness of the pill is affected? I am taking a ten day course of antibiotics for scarlet fever so thats a long time and have just three mo...

Is it normal to get pms symptoms when you have nearly finished one pack, I have four more pills left to take out of the pack and noticed my chest started to hurt and I have more spots coming up. Would me taking antibiotics affect me and the pill and create these pms symptoms. Its been 20days since t...

I did read the link yeah and I read a bit about panic attacks and I realise I experience them. Im not sure how to copy and paste the conversation as I dont have the conversations saved anywhere. With the antibiotics, why is it that they effect the pill? The doctor didnt say and I wondered.

I was fine with it as the pill gave me comfort as I always wanted to go on it since I was 15 and I still dont understand my body in terms of a cycle as if I get any pms near my period I thought I was pregnant but I am on antibiotics and if im right it can stop the effectiveness of the pill and so th...

Well not all of it no and I don't mean it's compulsive behavior but it's the triggers that I find I don't understand because I choose to do things, I am fine with it, then when something worries me all my past fears and thoughts come back. Those resources would be helpful to me I think if that's ok ...

Oh yeah, that is true. Sorry I have read up on it before some time ago on the site but I didn't understand what it was saying. Thank you sorry about jumping to the question. Can I ask something I'm not sure if it makes sense, why is it that I am fine one second then suddenly panicking the next. I de...

By sex do you mean intercourse or direct genital contact which would lead to fluid sharing? I never do any of this but I just get paranoid.

My parents don't like washing towels after every use as it's supposedly a 'waste' so they keep the same towels in the bathroom for days and more than one person uses it Pretty gross in my opinion.
